Eric Fenris Magnuson was born in Massachusetts. His parents were corporate
business people. At Northeastern University he studied science and English. Supporting himself as an antique dealer, he
amassed a library of over four thousand books and began a program of diverse study and writing. Moved by the need to create
something that would outlive him, on February 12, 1983 he founded the World Libertarian Order. After a six year tour du ski, he
moved to Lake Wildwood California, and in 2012, to Montreal, Quebec.
